Womens Barefoot Suits

Buoyancy, protection and a womens-specific cut

Barefoot waterskiing is the only towed sport where the rider rides on bare feet. You’re pulled at high speed and the water hits the body hard, especially on falls. A barefoot suit provides three things: buoyancy in the chest, full-body impact protection, and a snug athletic fit to hold body shape while loaded up on the line. Womens-specific cut matters more than for most water-sports gear. A barefoot suit’s main protection job is preventing high-pressure water entry on falls — and the womens-specific cut accounts for body shape differences in the chest and hip area, where mens cuts don’t fit close enough to seal out water entry. A loose-fitting mens barefoot suit on a womens body defeats the protection. Wing Womens Barefoot Suit — the current Wing womens-specific cut. Buoyancy in the chest, full-body coverage, athletic fit. L50S-certified, so it also counts as your life vest. Williams Competitor Womens Barefoot Suit — long-standing tournament option from Williams. Older model on the floor but still in stock. Fit. Snug, like a wetsuit. Holds the buoyancy foam against your body. If you’re between sizes, go smaller. Undershorts. Most serious barefoot riders also wear an undershort beneath the suit for additional cushioning on the upper thighs. Check our Barefoot Undershorts collection. Care. Rinse in fresh water after every session. Hang dry away from direct sun. Don’t fold long-term. A small but specialised collection. Barefoot waterskiing is a niche sport in Australia, and the womens-specific market is smaller still — but the gear here is purpose-built for womens body shape, not adapted mens gear. If you don’t see what you want, ask us — Wing can do special orders, and we can usually source within 2-3 weeks.
